Micro-Proof: Rework Avoided
Rework dropped when the blueprint got understood.

Requirements clarity
Vendor leverage
Less churn
Reality Check™ Summary
Situation: A startup had mixed results from outsourcing and kept revisiting decisions as delivery moved forward.
Reality Check™: The issue wasn’t speed — it was unclear requirements and weak decision criteria, which made reversals inevitable.
Intervention: Translated product vision into detailed requirements and a targeted RFP that forced alignment and higher-quality proposals.
Result: Less churn, fewer reversals, and vendor execution improved because expectations and acceptance criteria were explicit.
